Happy spring to all of us!
Just like you might spring clean your house, or change up your décor, plant new flowers, or do some yardwork in the spring, we at North Simcoe life have also done some spring sprucing up.
Look at our new look!
We wanted to make sure you could all easily read each story in each issue of North Simcoe life, so we have changed up our layout and look. Instead of two pages on the screen, now there is just one. We have also increased our font size. We are hoping this makes it easier to read our stories without all that pesky scrolling and zooming in and out. Let us know what you think! Also let us know how it works on a tablet or phone, so we can continue to improve.
And in the spirit of spring fun, we have a new contest in this issue. Sponsored by Mariposa Arts Theatre, the prize is two tickets to the April production of Blithe Spirit. Find all five blithe spirits in this issue and submit the page numbers you found them on, to our website www.northsimcoe.life. You will be entered in a draw to win the tickets. But hurry! Contest closes April 11.
Of course, there is so much more in this issue. Great local news from our communities, including Eady, Edgar, Coldwater, Carley, Warminster, Coulson, Horseshoe, and Hawkestone, which is experiencing a remarkable rebirth in local volunteers and activities at the Hawkestone Hall.
Lots of coming events as well for you to plan some fun, important information from our elected officials, lots of Township of Oro-Medonte news, information and fun for moms and dads, and of course photos from all over our beautiful region, thanks to our talented photographer, Deb Halbot.
Oh and don’t miss the special submissions from our newest and youngest writers, the Warminster Writing Club. AND find out how students can get involved in North Simcoe life too!
Check out all the great stories in this issue and let us know what you think! We are always interested in your feedback. And of course, please support those businesses who support us…and the events too!
Happy spring and see you out there!
